I will not drive them out from before thee, in one year, - lest the land should become a desolation, so would the wild-beast of the field multiply over thee.

Or, any person, who toucheth anything unclean, whether the carcase of an unclean wild-beast or the carcase of an unclean tame-beast, or the carcase of an unclean creeping thing, - and it is hidden from him, he himself being unclean, and he becometh aware of his guilt: -

Yea, as for, any person, whensoever he shall touch anything unclean - the uncleanness of man or an unclean beast, or any unclean disgusting thing, - and then eateth of the flesh of a peace-offering that pertaineth unto Yahweh, then shall that person be cut off from among his kinsfolk.

Nay, as touching any one who eateth the fat of any beast, wherefrom he might bring near an altar-flame unto Yahweh, then shall the person that eateth be cut off from among his kinsfolk.

And no manner of blood, shall ye eat, in any of your dwellings, - whether of bird or of beast:

As for every kind of beast which, though it parteth the hoof, yet is not cloven-footed nor cheweth the cud, unclean, they are unto you, - every one who toucheth them shall be unclean.

This, is the law of beast and of bird, and of every living soul that moveth in the waters, - and as to every soul that creepeth upon the earth:

And, what man soever, there may be of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners that sojourn in their midst, who taketh by hunting any wild-beast or bird that may be eaten, then shall he pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust;

And of no beast, shalt thou have carnal knowledge to commit uncleanness therewith, - neither shall a woman present herself to a beast to couch down thereto, - confusion, it is.

And, any man, who hath carnal knowledge of a beast, shall, surely be put to death, - and, the beast, shall ye slay.

And, a woman, who approacheth unto any beast, to couch down thereto, then shalt thou slay the woman and the beast, - they shall surely be put to death, - their blood, shall be upon themselves.

Therefore shall ye make a distinction - Between the clean beasts, and the unclean, - And between the unclean birds and the clean, - So shall ye not make your persons abominable with beast, or with bird or with anything which creepeth upon the ground, which I have distinguished for you, as unclean.

And he that by smiting taketh away the life of a beast, shall make it good, - life for life.

And he that killeth a beast, shall make it good,-and he that killeth a human being, shall be put to death.

And will send among you the wild-beast of the field And it shall rob you of your children, And cut off your cattle, And make you few in number; And your roads shall be silent.

And if it be a beast whereof men may bring near an oblation unto Yahweh, all that whereof aught is given to Yahweh, shall be holy.

He shall not alter it, nor change it - good for bad or bad for good, - but if he, do, change beast for beast, then shall, both it and what was given in exchange for it be holy.

And, if it be any unclean beast whereof men may not bring near an oblation to Yahweh, then shall he present the beast before the priest:

Only no devoted thing which any man shall devote unto Yahweh, of all that belongeth to him, - of man or beast, or of the field of his possession, shall be either sold or redeemed, - as to every devoted thing, most holy, it is unto Yahweh.

for, mine, is every firstborn, in the day when I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, hallowed unto myself every firstborn in Israel, both of man and of beast, - mine, did they become, and belong unto me, Yahweh.
